The Leman line is great!

I used to own the flyback chrono with grand date but upgraded it with the Reveil GMT. I never used the chrono amd figured the alarm would be something that would get use. With that said……the flyback chrono was an excellent watch. I really enjoyed the overall esthetic. The flyback is a great complication but something I just never utilized. I never had any issues with the watch. Kept perfect time. The sword hands are fantastic and the case is a work of art. You can’t go wrong with any of the Leman watches. Also the lume on the watch is something special to see in the dark. Good luck with your decision.

Hi everyone! I'm fairly new to the forum (this is only my second post) and its great to be here. Recently I've been getting into the 2100/Leman series and I'm seriously impressed by the lineup. I'm planning to add one or more over time starting with the 2...

Thanks for the input my friend. The dial on your watch looks amazing - the dial color is uncommon and very nicely done. I also like the applied Roman numerals.

I ADORE this watch. I can't say enough good about it.

The dial is off the charts. It has several different kinds of finishing (matte, high gloss, concentric rings, sunburst, turned, and on), many different levels, wonderful applied elements and excellent printing. It really has it all. Not to mention an extr... 

The Leman was a great series

I wish they would bring it back. As a flyback fan this has long been on my list, there are many configurations to choose from like 2 or 3 sub counters, normal or big date, etc. It is a wonderful watch, personally I would love to have one with a fancy roto... 

Agreed my friend.

A new Leman series would be interesting. And honestly they'd only need to make minor changes since the original design has aged well, even though it is 20 yrs old. I would also like to add one of the LE versions - the Aqualung and/or the Rattrapante some ... 

Don't know the answer to your questions, either.

I *suspect* Blancpain never did make a titanium bracelet for this watch but really am not sure. But here's a steel Leman Flyback! Really a superb watch, was a joy to own. ...  

Looks really good on that strap!

I'm looking forward to getting one!

Thanks so much for your kind feedback…

… really appreciate it! As to your questions: Caliber F185 is a very reliable movement with its FP 1185 base being acknowledged as beautifully constructed chronograph column wheel and vertical clutch caliber. It has not exclusively been used by Blancpain ... 

Nice to hear from you Henrik!

Thanks for the detailed responses. This has really sealed the deal for me, and I look forward to getting this watch!

Greetings Getting back into the swing after a long time away. I wrote a review of the F585 flyback perpetual and I tried pretty hard to be overly active with the watch despite its close to 400 parts. I have owned it for almost 20 years, played tennis, gon... 

The Leman line is great!
